Simplifying File Movement for the Built World
Enable architects, engineers, construction, and geospatial teams to work faster and smarter — anytime, anywhere.
What Signiant Does for Your Business
In the architecture, engineering, construction, and geospatial industries, innovation depends on the seamless exchange of data at the fast pace of business. With global teams, increasingly large datasets and file sizes, and tighter deadlines, the ability to transfer critical information quickly, securely, and reliably is essential. The Signiant Platform meets the demands of the geospatial industries, empowering professionals to focus on what matters most: creating and developing the built world.
Acceleration
Patented Acceleration
Signiant’s proprietary acceleration technology transfers data up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. It excels in efficiently handling large files or volumes of smaller file common in design workflows. By minimizing the effects of latency and packet loss, teams can maintain momentum, meet deadlines, and streamline collaboration across locations.
Reliability
Rock-solid Reliability
With checkpoint restart, interrupted transfers automatically resume from the point of failure, ensuring no data is lost during transmission. Combined with advanced integrity checks, files arrive intact and uncorrupted, even across unreliable networks. Receive real-time notifications when transfers are complete, eliminating guesswork, and ensuring confidence in the reliability of field operations.
Storage Independence
Storage Independence
Signiant’s storage independence enhances security by allowing organizations to transfer and access files directly within their own storage environments. With no need to pass data through third-party storage, businesses maintain complete control over sensitive files, reducing exposure risks. This approach ensures data stays secure while enabling seamless collaboration across teams.
Scalability
Scalability for Your Business
The Signiant Platform’s scale-out architecture automatically adjusts to increased data volumes and complexities. By distributing workloads across multiple nodes, it ensures efficient, reliable file transfers without manual IT intervention, supporting seamless growth and maintaining productivity.
Custom Portals
Customized Portals for Projects & Clients
Set up unlimited portals that can be customized and branded to different workflows, teams, and projects, including foreign language support and branding, making it adaptable to the diverse needs of today’s geospatial businesses.
Access Control
Robust Access Control
Add users, restrict permissions, control access to content, and track activity so you always know who has access to which files. Get real-time feedback on the state of active transfers, ensuring peace of mind and enabling you to focus on your next project.

FAQs
What if we’re uploading from remote areas with weak internet (hotels, vehicles, field offices, etc.)?
Signiant is designed for real-world geospatial environments. Whether you’re on hotel Wi-Fi, rural broadband, Starlink, or 5G, Signiant optimizes all available bandwidth based on live network conditions. Even with bandwidth fluctuations or dips, the transfers continue efficiently and without data corruption.
What happens if my connection drops during a transfer? Do I need to start over?
No! Signiant includes checkpoint restart, meaning transfers automatically resume from the exact point of interruption, not from the beginning. Whether your connection drops for three seconds or three hours, you never lose progress, need to babysit a transfer, or receive corrupted data.
How does Signiant ensure data integrity when we send thousands of small files from the field?
Geospatial datasets often include tens of thousands of images, tiles, or LiDAR segments. Signiant moves every file, large or small, bit for bit, to ensure it arrives intact and without missing, partial, or corrupted files.
We’d like field teams to upload data daily instead of carrying hard drives back to HQ. Can Signiant help?
Yes! Many geospatial customers use Signiant to eliminate physical media workflows. Field crews can upload imagery, LiDAR collections, or 3D captures at the end of each day, even from temporary bases with inconsistent connectivity. With checkpoint restart, teams can start the transfer and go to sleep, knowing it will continue if network connectivity is interrupted.
Can our clients or partners securely access processed data once it’s ready?
Absolutely! With Signiant you can create branded, browser-based portals for your clients, enabling accelerated, secure delivery of final imagery, point clouds, or 3D models, without worrying about email limits, shared FTP credentials, or shipping hard drives. Permissions and access controls ensure only authorized users see the data you allow.
Does Signiant ever have access to our files or sensitive data?
No. Signiant never has access to your files, not during transfer, at rest, or any point in the workflow. The platform uses a storage independent architecture, meaning your data moves directly between your own storage locations, whether on-prem, the cloud, or hybrid, without ever passing through or being stored on Signiant infrastructure. This design is one reason government agencies, defense contractors, and organizations handling highly sensitive geospatial information trust Signiant for secure, compliant data movement.
Can we use Starlink, 5G, or mobile hotspots with Signiant?
Yes! Signiant works with any IP-based connection. Many surveying, photogrammetry, and LiDAR crews rely on Starlink, 5G, and LTE to send datasets back to headquarters for review before leaving the field.
